A second young man has been charged with murder following the daylight stabbing that shocked Penge and Anerley residents.

Ayodeji Habeeb Azeez, 22, died of multiple stab wounds on Samos Road in the middle of the day on Sunday (November 4).

Police have so far arrested four young men and one 16-year-old girl, who has been released on bail pending further investigation, in connection with the crime.

Now Kevin Lusala, 21, of Eldred Drive in Orpington, has been charged with murder on Tuesday (November 20), a day after his arrest and will appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (November 21).

Police were called at around 12.30pm to Samos Road after reports of a man with stab wounds.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell described how further investigation revealed Ayodeji were seen to run into Samos Road from Grace Mews.

By this point Ayodeji had been attacked and he collapsed.

He said: “This attack took place in the middle of the day, in broad daylight in a residential street and it goes without saying that this incident would have stood out in what would normally have been a quiet environment."
